Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper and set to one side.
- In a bowl place flour, oats and parsley. Stir together to mix ingredients evenly.
- Add kumara, peanut butter and egg and mix thoroughly. Slowly add water to make a firm dough. Knead with your hands for a few minutes to make a smooth dough.
- Place dough between 2 pieces of baking paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out to about 1/2cm thick.
- Peel back top piece of baking paper and use cutter to cut out cookies. Reroll remaining dough and cut out more cookies. Slide a knife under each shape to loosen it from the paper and then place on prepared baking trays. Repeat until all dough is used up.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until cookies are firm and golden brown. Cool completely before placing in a container and sealing.
Variations
You can replace mashed kumara with 1 small mashed ripe banana, but you won’t have to add any water to the mixture.
